HR Council’s surveys of nonprofit employers and employees

Between December 2007 and February 2008 Ipsos Reid conducted this Canada-wide survey of sector employers and employees on behalf of the HR Council. The survey of employers provided data about their experience with recruitment and retention and about the skills their organizations need now and in the coming years. The survey of employees provided a profile of the people who work in the sector and insights into what they like and don’t like about their jobs and their plans and expectations for the future.
